This iPad Is Too Hot, This iPad Is Too Cold

While some people say the new iPad runs too hot, at least one person is pleased to see things heat up a bit.

DisplayMate chief Ray Soneira said that his biggest temperature issue with past iPads is the fact the aluminum-backed device is cool to the touch and sometime downright cold in his chilly New England locale.

“That aluminum back is there to help with the power heat dissipation of the electronics, but metals at room temperature often feel cold to the touch because of their high thermal conductivity,” he said in an email. “So when the iPad is on its additional warmth helps take the chill off.”
